8.5 :(

Thank you, everyone. It was a challenge for me to go in, but I did it, and the doctor looking after me was absolutely lovely. He tried his best to put me in a quiet spot so I don't have to worry about my mental health, he's done all the tests and assured me i done the right thing coming in as...

Thank you. I'm just out of hospital, my ketpnes were low my hb1ac was 47 and my sugars were fluctuating between 10 and 15 so they gave me some insulin and fluids and wrote urgent referral to diabetic specialist. As for my mental health, I know I have issue that's why I reached out for...

Thank you. I been on risperidone for 5 months now and the napping and sleeping during day only started recently. Could be risperidone, I am not saying it isn't. But right now it's the only thing that is keeping me sane and stable so if I sleep a bit more it's a trade I want to make I guess...

I am currently in AE after talking it over with my partner. I was against it because my mental health makes it hard to be in crowded unknown places but you are right it can be dangerous. I haven't been eating today due to the tummy ache and some nausea, but my numbers are still over 10. It's...

I know all about the side effects. One of the is increased blood sugar. Which I have. I am fully aware this all may be just side effects of my meds but at the same time, even if it is, it shouldn't be left untreated surly? High sugar levels are dangerous no?

Nowhere near slim unfortunately, have quiet bit of weight on me but also have family history on T1 on my mums side. Both her and my grandmother are T1 As far as I am aware I was never tested for T1.

Got a call back from the new GP. He agreed those levels are not normal and if I feel sick and sleepy, I need my ketone checked. He suggested I go to AE if the tummy ache is very bad, otherwise come to the practice first thing in the morning. Glucose is currently above 10 before I even had my...

I have asked my husband to ring the GP.see if I can talk to somone today. My glucose has been consistently over 10 and as high as 15 today, I got tummy ache and headache. Just feel like ****. I will change practices once the results are in from my procedure, I'd be scared they get lost otherwise.

Thanks for suggestions, I will look into my diet more, I am already pretty restricted but will see what I can do. I am on risperidone, suspected schizophrenia. They tried a few different drugs, and this one is only one that calms down the symptoms and let's me live somewhat normal life, so I...

8.1 this morning, but it hasn't been below the 7 for long time. GP doesn't care :(

8.1 :( my fasting sugars haven't been below 7 in long time but my GP doesn't care...

I can try getting in to see GP, however , ever since on GP left the practice its all been downhill. I don't have much trust in them, since they dismissed my mental health in December 2022 causing a sharp decline in January 2023. I am waiting to change practices at the moment, I had procedure...

Hey all I been having some issues with my GPs practice nurse. She's the one looking after my diabetes. I been type 2 for over 10 years, very well managed. At start of this year my mental health has declined rapidly and I was put on some medication which, unfortunately, mess with my sugars. I...

I never have time to mark if it's before food or after or I just forget. I am used to my blood spiking in the morning to about 8-9 figures and staying high no matter what till mid afternoon. So seeing my sugars resting at around 5 it's surprising. I tried and eat regular but it's hard with the...

I don't do fasting. I usually go to bed around midnight (I would have a toast with my Metformin at about 10pm) and some nights I may be up few times (thanks to my 1 year old son ) I be up anytime between 5am and 11am (depending who's shift it is to get up with him). I eat breakfast about hour...

Hi guys. I am type 2 for over 10 years now. I got myself a Freestyle libra and use my phone to scan it. Last couple of nights my sugar has been flat? I will attach photos. Is this normal? I never seen it before. Any advice would be appreciated. My targets are between 4.5-5.5(fasting) and 7.8...

Fell of the wagon due to hospital say... have to get back to my low carb now... dreading the carb flu!!!!
